<h1>Example 4 - Save the state</h1>

<div id="tree1" data-url="/example_data/"></div>

<p>
   If you set the option <strong>saveState</strong> to true, then jqtree remembers the tree state after a page reload.
</p>
<ul>
    <li>
        JqTree save the state into localStorage.
        If the browser does not support localStorage, then jqTree saves the state in a cookie.
    </li>
    <li>
        You must include the <a href="https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie">jquery-cookie</a> plugin for cookie support.
    </li>
</ul>

<h3>html</h3>

{% highlight html %}
<div id="tree1" data-url="/example_data/"></div>
{% endhighlight %}

<h3>javascript</h3>

{% highlight js %}
$('#tree1').tree({
    saveState: true
});
{% endhighlight %}

<p>
    Giving the <strong>saveState</strong> a string value sets the storage key. The default key is 'tree'.
</p>

{% highlight js %}
$('#tree1').tree({
    saveState: 'my-tree'
});
{% endhighlight %}
